contributors THE VOICES OF EXPERIENCE With two teenage daughters about to jump from their nest, JUDY AND STEPHEN SELIN ("Grand-Central Kitchen," pp. 58-61) are parents first, architects second. Understanding family dynamics has helped the Selins in both pursuits. "We try to recognize the stages families go through," says Judy Selin. Judy and Stephen Selin practice architecture in Shelburne, Vt. JUDY AND STEPHEN SELIN After receiving her bachelor of fine arts degree in visual arts from Oregon State University, DEBORAH KADAS ("A Hard-Working Bungalow Kitchen," pp. 74-77) worked in graphic design and taught in the art department at OSU. Then she took 12 years off to be a full-time mother and to supervise the remodeling of her family's historic home. Combining her love for older homes, design background, eye for detail, and organizational skills, Deborah now operates a design firm specializing in traditional and period-style remodels. HOWARD PRUDEN ("Bath Math," pp. 86-89) caught the building bug when his best friend convinced him to move to British Columbia with his new bride and try his hand at log construction. After years as a builder, he landed a job as a firefighter in Alberta, which turned into a position as a plans examiner with the fire-prevention branch because of his construction background.
